I'd buy Ruined Library with Fishing Village.

Why? It doesn't do anything for you.

With King's Court, it draws a card.


You laugh, because it should never work. I agree with you, but you know, sometime Marin would kill you with it.

Sure but if there's no KC you wouldn't buy it with FV as pops said.

Okay... there are other edge cases too. I mean, don't get me wrong, these are edge cases, and quite tongue-in-cheek. But...

aaaaaaand, if you are just swimming in actions, it's better than nothing because you CAN choose not to draw a card, say if you have enough to buy what you want and don't want to trigger a reshuffle.

Generally, though, yes, it does nothing for you.

Maybe you're in a three player game with only two Ruins left, and you know the next player is going to play a Cultist.  So you spend a spare buy to pick up Ruined Library, knowing that otherwise you'll get that last mystery Ruin instead.

While I'm not the best dominion player by any means I would rate ruined market the highest, just because that is the only ruins that one actually ever might consider actually buying, since in a game without +buy but an otherwise strong engine you can actually use ruined market to allow the engine to work, unlike the others.
But the idea is not to rate them that way... anyway you'll almost never buy a ruin, but gain them from looters. And usually ruined library and abandoned mine are the "least worst" of all...

Keep in mind that Ruins only exist in the kingdom if Looters are out anyway, and the only Looter that doesn't distribute Ruins to other players is Death Cart.
